Loop stitch (ls)
Insert hook, stretch a loop on the finger, place hook over the front strand and pick up the back strand, pull through, place the loop to the front of your work, yarn over, pull through both strands on hook. Video tutorial available on my TikTok (e2la_designs).

Loop stitch increase (ls-inc)
As for ls, but two in one stitch.

Loop stitch decrease (ls-dec)
Insert hook through front loop of first stitch, and back loop of second stitch, then complete as for ls.
